common jobs

well in just over 3 months time, i finally get to start to grow up a bit more and start looking for work. i really don't care what, whether its a fast food place or supermarket or whatever. the thing is though, is that my girlfriend wants me to apply at the kfc she works at. i don't think its a good idea because we see eachother like all the time and i'm not saying thats a bad thing, but i think time apart at work is good. am i right thinking this way? or am i over thinking about things? right now i feel like i shouldn't apply at her work.

I think it would definatly not be good for you two to work together. That'll only cause problems. I can see it now...

"Jo, where's the barbeque sauce?"
"Stephen, you idiot, its in the dipping sauce center of sauces..."
"Gosh, calm down."
"I hate you"
"I hate you too. Loser. Bye."

Yeah, it wouldn't go just like that...but it's a possibilty :P

I would have to agree aswell although your girlfriend probably thinks it cool to work together, it might not end up all lovely and rosey.

A healthy relationship consists of both time together and time apart. We don't need to be around our partner all the time it could possibly cause some problems for the personal environment and the work environment. I think it would be great for you guys to work in different places and share your day with each other that way it builds more communication and gives you that time away from each other.

Q F T!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Yay Thomas!).

'The Professor' nails this one. People who spend every waking moment with eachother become too dependent on each other and that dependency eventually suffocates the relationship.

Do diff things, and share those experiences, it will grow the relationship, rather than stifle it.

(Oh, just wonderful, Thomas, wonderful!)

Both my parents work as chefs at the same place... My dad is the head chef and my mom is just a chef. Thye dont tend to argue at all.


I think it would be a good idea. If you really love her you would say yes in a heartbeat in order to get to see her more. You still get time alone. So I say you do it.

Your mom and dad share common interest in their career choices so both of them working at the same place is a good thing for them. But in the case of a first job then you shouldn't work with your girlfriend.

This is the part that really irritates me. You should never define the love in a relationship by how much time they are willing to spend together. It is completely hard trying to seperate your personal life from your professional life, and if your girlfriend happens to be in both then that could cause problems.

Lol!
I agree with Bobby, it wouldn't be a good idea, because not only could problems rise between you two, you could get in trouble by your boss, or something like that.

Also like Thomas said, you need time without her and time with her.
A job would be a good place to have your own space.

Could be benefitial. Just set your priorities.

[Gumleaf]

thanks for your replies, bobby and thomas, you make very good points, thankyou.

I agree.

[Gumleaf]

yep, i've thought about it and i will not ever work in the same place as joanne. i need time for myself and as i think thomas said, its not healthy for us to be in eachothers faces all the time, so yeah, i believe thats my decision. next step, how do i tell jo? lol

[AutumnDae]

If you want an easy way to tell her, just tell her the reasons. I am sure she will understand if you explain it.

While it may seem like a good idea at the moment, it won't later.
